Run Process Monitor while you are completing an installation of your SolarWinds product.

Search the Process Monitor trace for any TCP Reconnects or other indications of attempted connections to external websites (e.g.crl.verisign.het:http).Note:w3wp.exe is one process that might attempt TCP connections.

If you find any attempted connections to an external website, you have the following options to resolve the excessive connections issue:

On the Advanced tab, in the Security group, clear Check for server certificate revocation, and then click OK.Note: You may need to restart your web browser.

If it is not already in the hosts file of your IIS server, add the website to which your IIS server is atteptimg to connect to the hosts

Edit the web.config file, as follows:

Open C:\inetpub\SolarWinds\web.config in a text editor.

In the <runtime/> tags, add the following:<generatepublisherevidence enabled="false"/>

Confirm that any and all firewalls allow connections to the indicated external website.

You may also need to re-add the server to the domain. The Orion server may have been improperly registered on the domain controller, or the entry may be corrupted. This causes the Web Console to slow down because the server has to establish a connection from the Web Console to other SolarWinds services using Windows Security Infrastructure.

This article applies to all SolarWinds products that use the Orion Web Console.
